Is there a simple app that can transfer everything easily? Like my favorites, browsing history and everything, including autofill setting and whatnot? I really just don’t want to redo everything and essentially start fresh.

Edit*

Thank you everyone! I’ve used chrome for so long and the last time I tried fire fox over 13 years ago it didn’t auto transfer anything, so I had no idea. And I will look into a 3rd party for password storage.

I’m not super savy with some things, so I don’t really know what you mean by “self hosting” but I guess I’ll look into that too.

Again thanks! Looks like I will make the switch!

    I mean, out the gate Firefox will import a huge chunk of that. Like, literally everything you listed.

    You should install it and try.

    That said, I will echo others that getting setup with something like KeePass is worthwhile. You set it up, add a browser extension to connect to it l, and now the passwords are REALLY secure and not limited to your browser and much more complex functions are available to you if you want to nerd out.

      Dont forget to mention that you have to manually backup your keepass vault somewhere safe and make sure all of your devices have the latest version of it.

      Also that Keepass master password is kind of important to remember

        Oh, and no they do not need the latest version, at all.

        The vault is interoperable between major versions, so this is just untrue.

        shrug

        Save it in a cloud synced folder, or one synced with Syncthing.

        And yes, not forgetting your master password is and will always be critical. Do… You want it to have back doors?
